BACK TO CALIFORNIA- PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT

Arizona-> Alaska-> and now California.

Jobs are plentiful as a physician assistant and options are endless. As mentioned in my last post I went to work in rural Alaska for a 6 month contract. What an experience and opportunity to grow as a primary care provider. Rural Alaska, hundreds of miles from any hospital or city. I worked on an island with a small population - primarily fishing community. In this environment, as a provider, you had to be able to do all medical jobs of a health clinic. Triage, registration, vitals, blood draws, immunizations, intravenous lines, emergency medical care, medevac protocols etc.. was required. There are no nursing, no medical assistants. There is a small office staff and small clinical staff.

I now returned home where it all began. Working in a typical suburban primary care facility is much different than the rural jobs I left behind.

Working as a Physician Assistant is great and a wonderful calling to help many people in need. Check out the e-book about how to get accepted into a program.
